After exploding onto the scene in Week 2, Jones came back to Earth in a big way against the Giants last Thursday. Game flow can be blamed for at least some of that, which bodes well for what looks to be a bright future for the rookie.
Yes, the Redskins’ brass still claims that Alfred Morris is the lead dog in the backfield. But it certainly didn’t seem that way last Thursday, when Jones not only got the start but also got 14 more snaps than Morris. If that trend continues, and it very well could, Jones could be good for nearly 15 touches a game - assuming the Redskins are allowed to run the football like they want. That kind of volume is pretty good for a modern-day running back.
Timeshare or not, Jones has star potential and will have every chance to succeed if Washington can simply stay competitive on the scoreboard. He’s a solid RB2, and certainly worth trying to acquire via trade before he blows up any further.
